The holiest man in modern Tarvuism, High Pri'stm'nty Jon-John Torvakian is Head of the Givil (or Givil Meni-hentu), which he has presided over since 1990.

Not much is known about Torvakian, and a clear photograph of his face has never been published.

Torvakian is believed to live in either Zurich (Switzerland), Baltimore, San Diego, Clermond Ferrand (France), Milan, Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) or Aylesbury in southern England.

For security reasons, the Tarvuist Church routinely uses actors and body-doubles to portray Torvakian. Perhaps because of this, some critics of Tarvuism, such as T.P.K. Henson maintain that he does not exist, or that he is actually somebody else.

In the UK, The Times newspaper published a story in June 1998 claiming that Torvakian was, in fact, three German women. The Givil flatly denied this claim.
